Miraculously, all of the original almond shaped crystal chains, pendalogues, rosettes, and coffin shapes prisms were present on this piece prior to restoration. There are E12 candelabra sockets on each of the eight arms as well as four more (also E12 candelabra) inside the lower basket to properly light all of the crystal.

The original finish on the frame was and is entirely present. The restoration included cleaning of all of the crystal and replacement of all electrical sockets and wiring. The chandelier included six feet of chain, ten feet of lead wire, canopy, and all necessary mounting hardware for hardwire installation on a standard U.S. junction box. less
